Too little 
too late
God said to me 
in this dream I had about fate

So I asked him 
what did he expect, 
A goody two shoes 
a prophet 
a saint 
to be something I ain’t 

Not at all he said 
I want to be entertained 
Eternity...

The family was poor
and on Christmas Eve
he went to bed still hungry
after his meagre evening meal.
 
He slept fitfully and dreamt
he had to work on Christmas Day,
distributing flyers to the people in town.
 
Hear, hear, read the news,
Today a Holy Child is born.
 
He ran...

The paper lay flat
on a low reading table,

yet thick in it's pages,
a days worth of fable.

Our library bright with it's
rays to it's sills

and the paper bleached white
with a grey side of gills.

It's HEADLINE in blue
relaxing your eyes.

Large print making stories
seem simpler than size.

Text in black...

Along this foggy daybreak stroll,
I tread along the intersection
between Mabini Street and EDSA boulevard, 
crossing number 25 Ortigas Road.

I breathe in the same grain 
of Manila pollen and dust itching
my throat ; an acrid mound of city garbage
gathered by rain’s aftermath,
as if to beckon another...

Tom, do you know “THE CUNNINGHAM NEWS” is read by one and all,
The World anxiously waiting to celebrate upon hearing about Putin’s fall,
I can understand how Ukrainian deaths will dampen Ukraine’s victory call,
But winning this war with glorious hearts, their reward, to feel ten foot...

Something terrible is going on
in a distant part
of 
the 
world
    Open your eyes this 
morning
   see what your fellow 
beings 
        are experiencing
Natural disasters - terrible earthquakes and floods
    put...

It’s early 
Not a sound from the street
Newspaper lies in the driveway
Where it landed
Some time ago.

When I get up 
The sun is also up
Brightness
Clarity
Not a cloud in the sky
So why should I read the newspaper
On this beautiful morning 
To read about politicians
Taking bribes
Projects stalled by...

Today 
I read a newspaper, 
In it was half a column 
On a people starving and dying, 
The rest of it was : 
Photos, 
Crossword puzzle, 
And faded letters....

While walking through the familiar road,
Connecting my commence and the destiny,
The road that took me to the humanity of knowledge,
Delight, opportunities and revealed mysteries,
My college, a bastion of courageous queens and the influential,
While I marched towards the terrain where women ruled the humankind,
I saw a...

The Good Newspaper 

Bright morning with lovely sunshine,
Garden of my house and the teatime,
Fingers going quick in page flicker,
Eager to read the good newspaper.

A man putting mask to an injured cat,
and the dog full of affection giving a pat,
Compassion in heart of the mankind,
that for...

Newspaper is for kids to play with and have fun or experiment something new,
Paper folding is something one learns using these scraps only---right?

Newspaper is to clean the glass, the cheapest means ever,
Just sprinkle a few drops and wipe off, no chemical works that good---right?

Newspaper is...

To your Exalted Highness, yesterday’s newspaper am I-
read, re-read, swallowed, digested and vomited;
Nothing left to be explored- from the red banner headline to
The tall, beautiful, intensely religious, childrened and immigrant
Citizen Brides looming large in the horizon
Of advert pages to the Ghathak Pakhi & Co.;
From the...

My eyelid clings to a nebulous newspaper.
The breakfast table, like a silent stranger.

in black and white ink
on which page i’ll never know
the drowning ink speaks

I’m a cashier, my first real job, and
a high school student. I immerse myself
into the day, yawning with wake-up tears.

Monica bears...

Local Newspaper Caper

To local newspaper will not subscribe again
Now no longer put any of my new poems in
Which people in past loved reading greatly
But in paper are not there as of lately.

To me. people are singing the same old song;
This time what again have you...

"U.S Attacked: Hijacked Jets Destroy Twin Towers And Hit Pentagon In Day Of Terror," The New York Times
even if it works like clockwork, it can still break.
shattered worlds petrified passerby, 
People as hungry as bears, for explanations.
What does this mean?
What is next?
Why us?
"Wall Street Crash!"...
